vControlling Method: There are two options as follows:

Press Center Button, then use TrackPoint: If you select this option, you will be able to control the scrolling or the Magnifying Glass window by holding down the center button and moving the pointing stick.

Note: If you are not holding down the center button, the pointing stick only controls the cursor and the Magnifying Glass window cannot be moved.

Use TrackPoint: This option enables you to move the Magnifying Glass window without holding down the center button. You can cancel the magnifying operation by clicking the center button. And you can then control the cursor with an externally attached mouse.

Note: You can still use the TrackPoint to control the cursor by pressing the center button and moving the pointing stick in the direction in which you want the cursor to move.

Changing button assignments

The left and right buttons of your ThinkPad USB keyboard with TrackPoint work as the left and right buttons on a conventional mouse. The left button is set to click or double-click items. The right button is set to open context-related menus and explanations. You can switch the functions of the two buttons by doing the following:

1.Click the USB TrackPoint icon.

2.Click TrackPoint Properties. The Mouse Properties window opens

3.Click the Buttons tab.

4.Select Switch primary and secondary buttons.

Note: Depending on your operating system, when you make your selection, the mouse will display different color or graphics to show the functions that you have assigned.
